“…The software routines, coupled with their size, makes tablets convenient. Writing on sociomateriality and affordance, Erofeeva (2019) argues that “in order to assess the relevance of objects, we need to conceptualise their relations to other objects present in a situation” (p. 601). This becomes evident here, where smartphones and tablets are discussed in relation to other available devices.…”

“…As such, “a frame is inherent in the physical nature of an object” (Cress, 2015, p. 385). It is possible to identify an overlap between Cress’s perspective, as I understand it, and the concept of affordance, as brought forth in relation to sociomaterial theory (Erofeeva, 2019; Leonardi, 2017). For example, Leonardi (2017) puts forth that “people have perceptions, artifacts have materiality, and affordances or constraints are created when people construct perceptions of an artifact’s materiality” (p. 285).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of smartphones among young people in everyday life, focusing on the activity of online search. This paper addresses the following research questions: What framings of the smartphone can be identified in the way that young people use, and describe, smartphones? What is the role of online search within these framings? By elucidating framings of the smartphone, this paper also seeks to discuss why and how smartphone use becomes contested in various contexts and situations. Design/methodology/approach The material has been produced through ethnographic fieldwork. Focus groups and observations have been carried out with teenagers, age 13–16 years, in three schools in Sweden. In total, 39 pupils participated in the focus groups. Interviews, classroom observations and go-alongs have also been performed. Findings In this study, three framings of the smartphone are identified: the entertainment framing, the easy-access framing and the challenging co-presence framing. The framings highlight the way that both the smartphone and online search is viewed, and carried out, in various situations. The smartphone is primarily viewed as a tool for entertainment, by adults and young people alike, yet the findings illustrate that the smartphone is used for more activates than what is immediately apparent. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to the field interested in bridging the gap between in-school teachings of information literacies and out-of-school activities by showing how online search happens in various situations. Also, to the field concerned with people’s use of general web search engines in everyday life. Originality/value This paper explores the relation between online search and smartphones, a topic which has not been in focus in previous research. The topics of online search and smartphone use have primarily been researched separately but are here researched in conjunction.

“…As has been argued by actor-network theorists and posthumanist scholars, instead of objects of use, all non-human artifacts, i.e. man-made objects, devices, systems etc., can be thought of as actants in care relations and practices that reshape the human lifeworld [19,20,21,22]. In other words, socio-technicality cannot be avoided when technology is explored as an aspect of care relations.…”

“…When humans repeatedly interact with the material and symbolic properties of technology, such as EHRs, the interactions will over time become structured processes [23], whereby the dynamic nature of technological applications and their situated use in care work can be analysed. For a recent commentary on theories on socio-technicality, see Erofeeva [19].…”

“…User Experience (UX) design is a design paradigm that focuses on improving the user's experience with a product throughout its entire life cycle.5 Another theoretical shift in conversation-analytic approaches to technologies occupies the high-ontology segment of the conceptualization of artefacts: objects as sets of affordances or autonomous interactants. For a discussion of the conceptual and methodological implications of this shift, see[Erofeeva, 2019;Klowait, 2019].…”

The field of human-computer interaction (HCI) investigates the intersection between the design of devices and users. From an early focus on interaction modeling based on psychological experiments, the field has since experienced a shift towards the study of how actual humans interact with autonomous devices. The field became conductive to ethnographic, observational and videographic studies of human-device interaction. Conversation-analytic HCI became possible. That said, this new wave of researchers was never truly able to dethrone the psychological common sense of the field. With recent developments in both the technical-sensorial capabilities and outward actuational range of embodied virtual agents, the field of HCI has once again returned to the question of the sequential unfolding of the interaction between users and intelligent agents, and the multimodal interactional repertoire that is deployed throughout. This review will highlight the situational orientation of high-impact research in the field, and relate it to the cotemporaneous development of ethnomethodological and conversation analytic frameworks.
